"I've always believed that the Creatures Community thrives on third-party contributions from its members. Without them the series would have died off long ago. It is because of the endlessly creative and gifted people willing to add to the games and to help each other that the Community and Creatures franchise have remained so loyal and strong." - Merboy The reason I post this is because, given the incipient release of Creatures 4 we all should anticipate both an influx of Creatures Community members (new fans of the series, likely to be of the targeted demographic of C4 aka children between 6 and 18 years of age) and the implications of a major title release in the series that excludes (at least to begin with) third-party development. While I strongly hope that Fishing Cactus will eventually allow members of the supporting Community to contribute their own additions to the games, in the meantime I want to remind everyone of their past. The history of the games over the previous decade or more when the Community saw its harshest declination and the perseverance of those who love the games enough to stay involved. In the interim years between official releases we saw new worlds created, new breeds, and new tools. We saw the advent of the Creatures Community Spirit Festival. We saw the staying power of the Community Chatroom and the ingenious creativity of those who continued to contribute to the series even as the rights to the games changed hands time and again. Therefore I would like to say that while I am absolutely in love with Creatures 4 already and fully endorse it I also want to say that we as a Community are FILLED with artists and coders and the like, all of whom are brilliant. We ARE Creatures. We are the reason the series is being continued, and our being together is the reason we have lasted so long. Many of our older members have gone into careers BECAUSE of the experiences the Community and the series have provided. Many of us have proven to ourselves we are smarter than we thought, more talented than we thought, and still more of us have learned that we deserve love and attention and have found a family among the Creatures Community. So no matter what happens in the future, whether Creatures 4 is a brilliant success or unlikely disappointment, please remember that YOU are the reason all of us are here. The Lantern Light.com |

Of course, I'll never forget this, and I know everyone else here won't! We've been through years of creating stuff ourselves. There was even a point some believed there would never be a new game. But still, we kept going! Small bird who lives here sometimes, and wanders other times. Got Creatures related content to share? Submit to Heck Yeah, Creatures! Icon by gettehld on twitter! |

Even without it being released, I know that C4 has already brought back more life to the Creatures Community, myself included, and although I look forward to seeing the game when it's out, I'm far more thrilled to be a part of the creativity and positive community that has its base around the older games. I couln't agree more with your post, Merboy. |

Oh yeah, I remember that too! There was also that Creatures inspired project, Lifandi, that was going on for a while, though by the lack of activity for a couple years I'm assuming it's been dropped. Also, thanks Merboy, things have just been stressful in school for me right now, I'm only taking one art class but the professor is throwing everything he can at us, heh.

Grandroids, on the other hand, is being deliberately designed to encourage 3rd party content. Steve Grand has talked to the backers (like me) about how best to make sure we can make content for his game. By the way, I don't care if anyone steals my ideas for their own work, as long as you don't try to stop me from making my own stuff. Many ideas I mention are things I don't have the time or skill to actually do. |

Based on the recent updates I've seen regarding Grandroids, it seems lightyears away from release. Is this accurate? - Rascii |

Yeah, it's pretty slow going. I have little doubt C4 will come out first. But don't worry - steady progress is being made on it, so it will come out eventually.
